Dr. Shabir Ally addresses Quran 4:3, which is often used to justify polygyny. He clarifies that the verse is conditional, emphasizing justice towards orphans and their mothers rather than providing a blanket permission for men to have multiple wives. Dr. Shabir explains that the verse was contextual to a time when many Muslim men had died in battles, leaving behind orphans and widows in need of care. He stresses the importance of justice, as repeatedly highlighted in the verse, and cautions against misinterpreting it as a general endorsement of polygamy. This misinterpretation often leads to injustice, particularly towards the first wife and the children involved. The conversation concludes with a reminder to adhere closely to the verse's original context and intent to avoid such injustices.
